xstitch vs Paul Robertson

This has to be the biggest project I’ve undertaken so far… and it’s still far from complete. Hunting for pixel pictures on the interwebs I stumbled across the amazing works of Paul Robertson; the man has crazy skills with pixels! I decided that I had to turn a hand at transforming his work into a cross stitch of grand proportions and got to stitching! Once complete this will measure about 60cmx60cm.

I couldn’t even begin to guess at how many hours I’ve put into this so far, or how many times my hand has turned into a claw through too much stitching, or how many needles I’ve lost in cushions! It’s certainly a labour of love… I’ll update this as it progresses…

xstitch status as of September 2012…

First girl complete! I’m breaking the rules of completing the dark colours first!!

Getting some colours in on the bottom half is spurring my stitching hand on!

Generally found with too many craft projects on the go at once: be it things out of beads, stitches, paper or Japanese robot kits. Has a tendency to loose needles in cushions. Appreciates a list with a drop shadowed tick box, likes rummaging around vintage wares, getting her face into a graphic novel or two, retro gaming, feeding her eyes with some nice art and design, moderately obsessed with skulls, cross stitch, vinyl/Japanese toys. Uses too many condiments when dining and is worryingly obsessed with English Mustard. Often get’s told she has a large head.
